The present world order headed by the USA empire is almost done. The Fed's everything bubbles are just waiting for the right pin prick to catalyze the reset "our" Western oligarch's would rather avoid, yet have no choice in the matter as this system is so unstable it can be kept afloat but a little longer. Russia is set to open the USD → alt currency floodgates via bitcoin and likely a new Rus-national “intermediary cryptocurrency”: Russia Prepares To Buy Up To $10 Billion In Bitcoin To Evade US Sanctions https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-14/russia-prepares-buy-10-billion-bit... With the Yellow Vests calling for a possibly-catalytic run on the banks (the most significant push possible for the yellow vests to make), we may be just around the corner of a full global fiat reset, and not into a One World Currency, One World Government, etc New World Order, but a multi-polar world of competing authorities. For some completely unknown reason the (((current ultra-oligarchs))) ... get this ... overplayed their hand - wherever have we heard this before? Not content with all countries but five in their hegemonic debt noose, and flush with their World War 2 successes, those with a slightly noticeable penchant for "ruling the planet" decided to place everything on the table to grab those last 5 countries: Iraq Libya Syria Iran North Korea and we know how that worked out... with continuous hysterical screeching against our Russkie bros for saying "uh uhh, Syria be our long term partners, feel free to sepuku your silly empire". Now is the time to make any move you planned to make - time is very short people. Good luck and may God speed your righteous journeys, "Financial Nuclear Warheads" - The Yellow Vests Get It Right https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-14/financial-nuclear-warheads-yellow-... https://straightlinelogic.com/2019/01/13/the-yellow-vests-get-it-right-by-ro... … The Yellow Vest protestors have called for a coordinated run on French banks. Whether they realize it or not, they’re playing with nuclear warheads that could annihilate not just the French, but Europe’s and the entire world’s financial system. Because inextricably linked to the ends of contemporary governments―how much they can screw up the lives of those who must live under them—is the question of means―how do they fund their misrule? The short answer is taxes and debt. Since 1971, when President Nixon “temporarily” suspended international convertibility of dollars for gold (it’s never been reinstated), the monetary basis of the global economy has been fiat debt. Neither government or central bank debt nor currencies are tethered to any real constraint, like precious metals (see “Real Money,” SLL https://straightlinelogic.com/2015/09/09/real-money-by-robert-gore/ ). Thus, politicians and monetary officials can create as much debt as they want: debt by fiat. Government and central bank debt is at the apex of the global debt pyramid. The next tier is commercial banks that have accounts at central banks. Those accounts are bank assets and central bank liabilities, or debts. Central banks expand their fiat liabilities to banks in exchange for banks’ fiat government debt, an exchange called debt monetization, which is a bit of a misnomer since no “Real Money” is involved. The “monetization” is the central bank’s fiat expansion of banks’ accounts with the central bank in exchange for fiat government debt, which expands banks’ assets available for loans to governments, businesses, and individuals. In “Real Money,” money was defined, in part, as that which has intrinsic value and is not a liability of an individual or entity. This part of the definition is controversial; it invalidates everything we currently think of as money. Popularly accepted definitions are essentially: money is as money does, anything that serves as a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account (the other parts of the SLL definition) is money. However, just because something has monetary functions doesn’t mean it’s money, anymore than using a hairbrush to brush your teeth makes it a toothbrush. While there are some metaphysical questions about the notion of intrinsic value (that term was chosen because it’s shorter and more convenient than saying, “Something to which most people would assign a value apart from its potential value as money,” every time) the important point is that by SLL’s definition, using debt as money, including the debt in your wallet known as Federal Reserve Notes, doesn’t make it money. Except for the relatively few instances when gold, silver, or other tangible value is used as a medium of exchange in private transactions, everything that is currently used is debt, including currencies.
